About The Author

Jack Wolf was born in Bath, and has spent most of his life in rural Somerset. He wanted to be a singer until his interests in faerie tales and in social history led to a writing career. The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones is his first novel. He is currently studying for a PhD and working on his second novel.

Jack Wolf's extraordinary 18th-century story does exactly what it says on the cover. It's a tale, in the grandest sense of the word. It's raw, at times even extreme. It explores elegantly the eternal dialogue between the head and bones. And it's quite startlingly, and beautifully, bloody … Jack Wolf delivers his tale with passion, precision and poetry. Those of strong stomach and vivid imagination will find glittering delights in here

Other text

This gloriously over-egged pudding of a first novel is set in 1750, and crammed with chunks of history, philosophy and folklore … Wolf is a superb storyteller who sucks the reader into his fascinating imagination
